DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In the following description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings that form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration specific embodiments which may be practiced. These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention, and it is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and that structural, logical, and electrical changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. The following description of example embodiments is, therefore, not to be taken in a limited sense, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.

The functions or algorithms described herein may be implemented in software or a combination of software and human implemented procedures in one embodiment. The software may consist of computer executable instructions stored on computer readable media or computer readable storage device such as one or more memory or other type of hardware based storage devices, either local or networked. Further, such functions correspond to modules, which are software, hardware, firmware, or any combination thereof. Multiple functions may be performed in one or more modules as desired, and the embodiments described are merely examples. The software may be executed on a digital signal processor, ASIC, microprocessor, or other type of processor operating on a computer system, such as a personal computer, server or other computer system.

A distributed headset illustrated at 100 in FIG. 1 includes a wireless enabled voice recognition device that utilizes a hands-free profile. To provide a long battery life consistent with long work shifts, elements may be off-loaded into a module 110 that is coupled to a light-weight and comfortable headset 115 secured to a worker head via a headband 117. The headband may be a band that is designed to fit on a worker head, or in or over an ear or otherwise designed to support the headset that includes one or more speakers 120 and multiple microphones 125, 126. Microphone 126 may be one or more microphones to provide for noise cancellation continuously listening to and blocking environmental sounds to enhance voice recognition and optionally provide for noise cancellation.

While a headset is illustrated, other types of devices having voice interface capabilities such as a speaker and a microphone may be used in further embodiments. Such devices may include but are not limited to hats, smart phones, personal digital assistants, tablet computers, laptop computers, and other devices which may be worn, carried, stationary, or otherwise positioned to interact with a worker via voice.

The module 110 may be used to offload several components of the distributed headset 100 to reduce the weight of the headset 115. In some embodiments, one or more of a rechargeable or long life battery, keypad, BLUETOOTH® antenna, and printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) electronics may be offloaded to the module 110. The module may be mounted to a worker torso (lapel clip and/or lanyard). The headset attaches to the electronics module via a small audio cable 130. Distributed headset 100 may provide a flexible use case across multiple workflows in multiple markets such as grocery, retail, direct store delivery, healthcare, etc. In some embodiments, the distributed headset 100 has a low profile and is not intimidating to a customer in a retail setting. Headset 115 may be minimalistic in appearance in some embodiments.

Module 110 can be used with different headsets, such as VOCOLLECT headsets, depending on environment. The module 110 may read a unique identifier (I.D.) of the headset, which may be stored in a headset electronic circuitry package 135 that is supported by headband 130 and is also used to electronically couple the speakers and microphones to module 110. Note that in further embodiments, a worker's identity could also be specified during an application's login process; it is not limited to headset ID detection. In one embodiment, the audio cable 130 includes multiple conductors or communication lines for signals which may include a speaker+, speaker−, ground digital, microphone, secondary microphone, and microphone ground. The module 110 may utilize a user configurable attachment 140, such as a plastic loop, and attachment position on the worker in some embodiments.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating an architecture 200 of a distributed headset system for providing communications with a worker. Architecture 200 includes a headset 115 and module 110 as previously described. Module 110 may be coupled to a server or other device, such as a terminal 210 via a wireless line 215, such as a BLUETOOTH® connection. The terminal 210 may be further coupled to a network 220 via a wireless or wired connection 225 such as WLAN, and then may optionally be further coupled via a wired or wireless connection 230 to a voice console 235 which may also be thought of as a mobile device manager application. Voice console 235, terminal 210, or some other device running a workflow or other type of application may assign an operator to the terminal 210. Voice templates may be loaded into terminal 210 in one embodiment to recognize worker voice interactions and convert the interactions into text based data and commands for interaction with an application running on the terminal 210. Note that the functions ascribed to individual elements of the architecture 200 may be performed in one or more locations in further embodiments. For instance, the terminal 210 may perform voice recognition in one embodiment, or the module 110 may perform voice recognition utilizing the voice templates.

The separation of the headset 115 and module 110 allows the sharing of modules 110 that contain headset electronics across multiple shifts, resulting in lower total cost of ownership. Workers retain each of their own assigned headsets 115, which contain the unique ID (e.g., worker ID) stored therein in electronics 135. Each worker utilizing the module 110 has a separate set of voice templates, which may include a template for each recognizable utterance. Rather than store the templates for every worker in every module, in one embodiment, each unique ID corresponding to a specific worker has a set of associated voice templates. The first time a worker uses the distributed headset 100, voice training may be performed to generate their voice templates. Thereafter, the same voice templates may be used each time a user starts a shift utilizing an application that is voice enabled.

In one embodiment, the voice templates for all workers may be stored in a remote storage device 240, such as at a server or other devices, such as terminal 210 or voice console 235. When the ID of the headset 115 is read by module 110 after attaching the headset to the module, the ID is provided to the server and the associated voice templates may be obtained and used to recognize the user's voice and properly interact with voice interface views.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a method 300 of initializing a distributed headset 100 according to an example embodiment. In some embodiments, applications include many different work activities to direct a worker to perform one or more tasks. At least two different interfaces may be used by a worker to interact with the application. A graphical user interface may be used for some workflow activities, while a voice interface may be used with other activities. The worker may also switch back and forth between using a graphical user interface and the voice interface.

At 310, a workflow activity may be associated with a voice based interface mode. The voice based interface mode may utilize a voice based dialog view. At 315, a voice based dialog view may publish an event to a workflow activity indicating a state of asset retrieval. In this case the asset being referred to include a set of voice templates for the worker associated with the ID of the headset 115. The module 110 or other server type device coupled to the module 110 has a built-in workflow activity for handling the asset retrieval. At 320, the built-in asset retrieval workflow activity is navigated to, and the asset is retrieved at 325 for use in voice recognition. If no set of voice templates exists for the worker yet, at 330, a training set of activities, also built-into the module 110 or a server may be performed to generate and store the voice templates for use in voice recognition. At 335, once the voice template has been retrieved or created, the top-most workflow activity may dismiss itself and refer back to the previous workflow activity in the application. Since the asset creation and retrieval workflows are built-into the module 110 or a server, the application and the workflow application developer need not be concerned with whether or not the components executing the workflow activity are ready to provide the voice based interface to the worker.

In one embodiment, all application workflow activities may be provided with the capability to publish such an event resulting in the asset retrieval workflow when such workflow activities are configured as the first workflow activity in the application to use voice. The application developer may simply include a voice-based presentation layer view in the application and associate it with a workflow activity in one embodiment. The voice based view will publish the event resulting in the execution of method 300 to properly configure the distributed headset 100 for voice interactions with the specified worker.

FIG. 4 is a block schematic diagram of a computer system 400 to implement methods according to example embodiments. All components need not be used in various embodiments. An example computing device in the form of a computer 400 may include a processing unit 402, memory 403, removable storage 410, and non-removable storage 412. Although the example computing device is illustrated and described as computer 400, the computing device may be in different forms in different embodiments. For example, the computing device may instead be a smartphone, a tablet, smartwatch, or other computing device including the same or similar elements as illustrated and described with regard to FIG. 4. Devices such as smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches are generally collectively referred to as mobile devices. Further, although the various data storage elements are illustrated as part of the computer 400, the storage may also or alternatively include cloud-based storage accessible via a network, such as the Internet.

Memory 403 may include volatile memory 414 and non-volatile memory 408. Computer 400 may include—or have access to a computing environment that includes—a variety of computer-readable media, such as volatile memory 414 and non-volatile memory 408, removable storage 410 and non-removable storage 412. Computer storage includes random access memory (RAM), read only memory (ROM), erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM) & electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), flash memory or other memory technologies, compact disc read-only memory (CD ROM), Digital Versatile Disks (DVD) or other optical disk storage, magnetic cassettes, magnetic tape, magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium capable of storing computer-readable instructions.

Computer 400 may include or have access to a computing environment that includes input 406, output 404, and a communication connection 416. Output 404 may include a display device, such as a touchscreen, that also may serve as an input device. The input 406 may include one or more of a touchscreen, touchpad, mouse, keyboard, camera, one or more device-specific buttons, one or more sensors integrated within or coupled via wired or wireless data connections to the computer 400, and other input devices. The computer may operate in a networked environment using a communication connection to connect to one or more remote computers, such as database servers. The remote computer may include a personal computer (PC), server, router, network PC, a peer device or other common network node, or the like. The communication connection may include a Local Area Network (LAN), a Wide Area Network (WAN), cellular, WiFi, Bluetooth, or other networks.

Computer-readable instructions stored on a computer-readable medium are executable by the processing unit 402 of the computer 400. A hard drive, CD-ROM, and RAM are some examples of articles including a non-transitory computer-readable medium such as a storage device. The terms computer-readable medium and storage device do not include carrier waves. For example, a computer program 418 capable of providing a generic technique to perform access control check for data access and/or for doing an operation on one of the servers in a component object model (COM) based system may be included on a CD-ROM and loaded from the CD-ROM to a hard drive. The computer-readable instructions allow computer 400 to provide generic access controls in a COM based computer network system having multiple users and servers.

Although a few embodiments have been described in detail above, other modifications are possible. For example, the logic flows depicted in the figures do not require the particular order shown, or sequential order, to achieve desirable results. Other steps may be provided, or steps may be eliminated, from the described flows, and other components may be added to, or removed from, the described systems. Other embodiments may be within the scope of the following claims.
